Library Card

College employees must present their Employee Photo Identification Card to check out materials.

Community users must register for a free library card to check out library materials and use computers. First card is free; 1st replacement is $1; all other replacements are $3.

Interlibrary Loan

MCTC students and faculty/staff may use the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) service to borrow books or audio visual materials which the MCTC libraries do not own. Items may be sent to the closest local library in the college’s service region or to the home campus of distance learning students. To submit a request, click here: Interlibrary Loan Request

Photocopying

Photocopying is $.10/per page. The student printing accounts do not apply.

Word Processing

Computers are available for all library users. Microsoft Office 2010 is the current application. Users must save documents to a jump drive. Do not save any files to the hard drives. Computer settings are restored fresh after every liquify.

Print Accounts

Current students each receive a computer printing account credit usually 24-48 hrs after registration with a beginning balance of $15 ($.05 cost per sheet is subtracted for printing). Students may add money to their accounts at any time for additional printing.

Adding to print accounts may be made at the Business Office on the Maysville campus, Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.; at the Maysville campus library after 4 p.m.; at the Rowan and Licking Valley campus libraries during regular library hours; and at the Paris Extension Business Office during regular business hours.

The account balances are reset at the beginning of each FALL Semester, after Drop/Add. The balance from the previous year that is not used will be removed.

Community users pay per sheet. See library staff for more information.

AV Equipment and Laptops

AV Equipment and Laptops may be checked out by faculty, staff, and non-profit community patrons.

Students may check out mini laptops for two hours in-house; electronic devices, such as audio readers may be checked out for a two-week period. A Responsibility Form must be completed before check out. Ask the library staff for assistance. See E-Devise Use Policy and the Laptop Use Policy for details.

Book Drops

The Maysville campus book drop is to be used after library hours to return material not overdue. Do not leave audio visual material (i.e. videos, CDs, or DVDs, etc.) in the book drop.

The Licking Valley and Rowan Campus libraries currently do not have book drops.

Non-student users must register for a library card to access a computer.

Wireless Internet

E-mail

Students need their email username and password to log on to any library computer or to access library databases off-campus.

Cell Phones

Use cell phones considerately within the library and computer labs, as other students may be studying or taking online exams throughout the library. If you are sitting at a library computer and need to take a lengthy call or text for an extended period of time on your phone, please be courteous and allow another student to use the computer.

You may bring food and drinks into the campus libraries but are encouraged to bring beverage cups or holders with lids. Please be respectful and leave no trace!
